I know from teaching, that actors want to act. Even the subtlest actors can do a little too much.

I love to read, and I like the fact that there's some silence in my life.

I've learned to become a progressive man because I have four women in my life. And their mother, who I'm not married to anymore, but who impresses me because of our relationship. Because we have a very deep and friendly relationship that is completely about who we really are now. Before it was husband, wife, mother, father. But now it's about who we are as human beings. Because we didn't give up on each other. And because we didn't hurt each other and blister each other from a divorce. We became tight. Best friends. And more than that even, because now we're best parents.

To be a character actor is to be open, to be a chameleon.

I have four daughters, the eldest is 19, the youngest is 12, and I watched all of them journey into motherhood. Motherhood is very deep. It starts when you're very, very young. Now, my 12 year old comes in, wants to put me to bed. And she'll, you know, put her hand on my forehead and say the prayer with me. As for years I've done for her! It's almost like a very beautiful, natural transition.

I know from teaching, that actors want to act. Even the subtlest actors can do a little too much.

I never like to refer back to anything I've done when I'm working on a character, even if that character has the same occupation.
